Residents of Banana Estate, Laara Igbe, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, apprehended a young man for allegedly breaking into and stealing a wheelchair that belonged to a dead disabled woman.
Confessing before the crowds that held him hostage, he added that previously he also removed air conditioner from the same house.
According to him, he deals in scraps and peradventure steals items of values from unsuspecting members of public.
A resident, who spoke in anonymity, told our correspondent that many residents in the estate have lost their valuable items to burglars.
Asked whether they were going to hand him over to the police, the residents retorted that they would not get the justice they desired if the suspected was handed over to the police.
